He appeared as Buddy in the "Buddy and Jim" sketches with James Catusi in the first season of Sesame Street, in 1969. In 1970, he was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for his role in Applause. He played Cleveland Sam in Dressed to Kill and starred as Harry Stadling in the cult film Christmas Evil, both in 1980. In 1982 he played Garp's wrestling coach in The World According to Garp. He then played George Elliot in the short lived NBC series Jennifer Slept Here with Georgia Engel and Ann Jillian in 1983.
From 1984 to 1989, Maggart starred on the groundbreaking Showtime original comedy Brothers, where he played eldest brother Lou Waters. For his role on Brothers, Maggart was nominated for four Cable ACE awards (for Best Actor in a Comedy Series) in 1985, 1986, 1988 and 1989.
Shortly after Brothers ended its run, Maggart appeared as Lynn Redgrave's brother on the short-lived, and much talked about Jackie Mason sitcom Chicken Soup. In 1997 he appeared on Married... with Children. In 1990, he had a notable guest turn on the Fox sitcom Babes, playing the ex-husband of Susan Peretz's character, Darlene Gilbert. Since that time, Maggart has devoted much of his time to painting and writing. His paintings have been featured on The Venice Art Walk. His poem Diversity in Venice was read at The Venice Centennial in 2005. His first book is an autobiographical trilogy/memoir called Papa's Footprint. It tells the tale of a four-million-year-old actor and father, from Africa to Broadway and Hollywood.
